In a lab environment, you are investigating the impulse of a force exerted on a brick when the brick's speed is reduced from 2.5 m/s to a complete stop. first, you allow the brick to slam into a secured piece of wood, bringing the brick to a sudden stop. second, you allow the brick to plow into a large slab of gelatin so that the brick comes to a gradual halt. in which situation is there a greater impulse of the force on the brick?
the impulse is the same in both situations.
there is a greater impulse of the force on the brick from the gelatin.
not enough information is given to determine the answer.
there is a greater impulse of the force on the brick from the wall.

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
